Sadness

I am in love with Sadness.

She makes me feel so alive.

The way she smiles at me

When I catch a glimpse of her in the mirror.

She whispers in my ear

When we are alone.

I can feel her kiss my neck

In a crowded room.

Her lips are cold, but familiar.

They send chills down my spine.

One night, I went out.

Everyone crowded around Happiness;

Even I stole a glance at her.

She smiled, but I looked away.

Sadness crept up on me

While I mingled with Guilt.

“Do you love me?” she asked.

“Of course I do.”

I would die for her,

Though she would not do the same for me.
